Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government will move ahead on plans to change the country’s judicial system after talks aimed at finding a compromise solution appeared to be crumbling.
The government’s plans to overhaul the judiciary plunged Israel into one of its worst domestic crises ever earlier this year. Negotiations between the government and opposition parties somewhat alleviated the crisis with attempts to find a middle ground over proposed changes to the country’s justice system.Those talks were jolted last week over a crisis surrounding the powerful regular committee responsible for picking the country’s judges.
Protest leaders said they were ready for another round of demonstrations that would make sure “every attempt to harm Israel’s democratic justice system will fail.” The government says the plan is necessary to restore power to elected officials and weaken, what it says, is an interventionist Supreme Court.
